Newcastle United sporting director Dan Ashworth has provided an update on the future of Elliot Anderson hinting the youngster could be one of the names to make the step up to the first team.
Bristol Rovers boss Joey Barton is keen on taking the 19-year-old back to the Mem on loan following his influence on the side's dramatic promotion campaign although competition for his signature is expected to be rife.
Anderson scored seven and assisted six in 20 League Two appearances attracting the interest from a horde of EFL clubs looking to take him on loan next season. His scintillating form did not go unnoticed at St James' Park with boss Eddie Howe eager to take a look at him in pre-season.
